The Best Meatloaf

A vibrant and luxurious meatloaf that would make for a beautiful dinner gathering. The good cuts of marbled beef produce a succulent and juicy result, the glaze adds a glossy coat and a bit of a kick that rounds out the flavors to the dish. The results are best when you grind the meat yourself. Try my fluffy mash potatoes and the roasted brussels sprouts with their citrus twist to create a perfect textural and delightfully colorful meal.
